Go Green

Why Go Geothermal?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reported that Geothermal Exchange Systems save homeowners 30–70 percent in heating costs, and 20–50 percent in cooling costs, compared to conventional systems!

Geothermal technology has a lot to offer you:
• Greater levels of home comfort and control
• Energy savings and much lower electric bills
• Drastically reduced hot water costs—up to 30% annually
• Less maintenance
• Enhanced home resale value
• The endorsement of the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• A proven track record—over 30 years of effectively cooling and heating homes
• Environmentally friendly technology— cuts greenhouse gas emissions (Putting a geothermal system in a typical home is equal, in greenhouse gas reduction, to planting an acre of trees—or taking 2 cars off the road.)*
• Strengthened U.S. energy security — reduced foreign oil consumption (Current geothermal installations in the U.S. equal 14 million barrels of crude oil saved per year. 650,000 installations = 14 million barrels of oil saved.)*
Cool in the Summer: The Earth absorbs energy, but it also acts as a buffer. At 5 to 7 feet down, the temperature of the Earth stays cool year-round. During the heat of summer, geothermal systems use the cool Earth to keep your home comfortable.


Federal Tax Credits for Energy Efficiency
On October 3, 2008, President Bush signed into law the “Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008.” This bill extended tax credits for energy efficient home improvements (windows, doors, roofs, insulation, HVAC, and non-solar water heaters). Tax credits for these residential products, which had expired at the end of 2007, will now be available for improvements made during 2009. However, improvements made during 2008 are not eligible for a tax credit.
The bill also extended tax credits for solar energy systems and fuel cells to 2016. New tax credits were established for small wind energy systems and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Tax credits for builders of new energy efficient homes and tax deductions for owners and designers of energy efficient commercial buildings were also extended.
